Solo Exhibition At Galleria Weber&Weber, Turin
A Place for Lost Things
4th November 2023 - 20th January 2024
Curated by Valeria Ceregini
In Damien Flood’s new solo exhibition A Place for Lost Things, he continues to push and poke at the edges and boundaries of painting and image making. A central Question to Flood’s practice is how, in modern times, an artist depicts the world around him.
These works are laboured and slow to make rewarding slow viewing. The paintings can be divided into interiors and exteriors. The interiors display anthropomorphic qualities. The lines between what is animate and inanimate are blurred. The exteriors bring new elements of life into Flood’s work.
A Place for Lost Things

Try a Little Tenderness, Group Show at Liminal Gallery, Margate.
Tender moments, tender flesh, tender touch, tender thoughts, tender heart, tender mind; try a little tenderness.
A tender moment is encapsulated in an act of thoughtfulness; a cup of tea at the end of the day, a gift of flowers, a display of love. Tenderness is to give up one's time, attention, precious moments devoted to another. Tenderness is also pain, a moment of fragility, of weakness. It evokes skin which expands, shrinks, multiplies, and shivers to the touch. Skin which is a dying organism, for surely that is what we all are. A tender morsel of meat, deliciously melts in the mouth.
Exploring these themes in contrasting ways ‘Try a little Tenderness’ brings together the works of three artists whose practice is unified in the attempt to capture these fleeting moments.

Solo Show TILT Opens May 10th at Royal Hibernian Academy.
RHA Brown and O’hUiginn Gallerie will host TILT, the first institutional solo exhibition of Damien Flood's work, consisting of a new body of paintings and fired and glazed ceramic figures and vases, perched on customised plinths in concrete, brass and steel. The exhibition will run from Monday, 10 May to Saturday, 1 August, 2021.
Throughout the exhibition we find a new group of what can best be described as flower paintings, anchoring us in this world. These lush memento mori were made in part after seeing paintings from his deathbed of the same subject ( 1880s ) by Edouard Manet - father of modernism - while Flood was on a residency in the Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris, in 2018. Foliage, seascape, gardens and horizon lines give us a footing and a fruitful starting point from which to explore TILT.

TILT
Solo Show at The Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin
Opening to be confirmed due to Covid 19 restrictions.
Tilt brings together a new body of work that juxtaposes paintings with a series of new ceramic works.
The ceramic works pull on the tension exploiting the transition from the real world to the fragmented world of imagination and memory and the tension between a figurative and abstract language. The series of Crying Men and Grinners tug with dark humour at chords of association with primitive cultures and pagan offerings while juxtaposing the emotional landscape of the paintings.
This show has been kindly supported by The Arts Council of Ireland, The Wicklow County Council, and the Royal Hibernian Academy.

New Ceramics at Volta Basel, 2019
10 – 15 June 2019. Booth B01
Green On Red Gallery is proud to announce its participation in Volta 15, Basel, Switzerland for the 10th time with four of its gallery artists with the theme of Memory and Desire. They include Alan Butler, Damien Flood, Caroline McCarthy and Xavier Theunis with new work completed for the exhibition at Elsässerstrasse 215, 4056 Basel.
Damien Flood’s earthenware clay ceramic figures are shown in combination with oil on linen paintings from his recent The Figure in the Carpet exhibition at Green On Red, Dublin, in 2018/19. This is not the first time his work has left the wall but it is the most explicit expression to date of the tension the artist likes to exploit in the transition from the real world to the fragmented world of his imagination and memory and the tension between a figurative and an abstract language. Crying Man (2019), Potter (2019), Metal Head (2019) and Moon Vase (2019) show off the artists considerable skill in this new medium. They also tug with dark humour at chords of association with primitive cultures and pagan offerings while echoing the emotional landscape of his oil on linens.
Xavier Theunis’s curiously titled Vue d’Atelier #23 continues his impeccable use of sharply cut adhesive vinyl paper, this time in a rainbow of gently curving, perfectly contiguous strips arranged in 3 equal columns. The vertical columns oscillate and sway adding to the up and down dance of colour. Colours range from fluorescent orange, yellow and pinks to sparkling white, sparkling gold and cerize over a 240 x 180cms expanse creating a luxuriant voluptuousness.
In her trademark understated fashion Caroline McCarthy picks the most modest and unpromising of starting points, the disposable plastic drinking straw - the subject and medium of choice for her first solo show and installation in Green On Red Gallery in 2011 - and performs conceptual summersaults giving the viewer on one level a whimsical composition but on another challenging their very belief system. Together Forever is the title of a new series of exquisite ink and gouache paintings on paper that will also be shown in her forthcoming solo show in Galerie Gisela Clement, Bonn ( opening June 25, 2019 ). The suggestion of permanence and unity is at odds with the bare facts of these trompe l’oeil renderings of a transigent condition or, in the words of the artist “ a dishevelled formalism “. She adds: “ Together Forever is a joyful expression of a hedonistic party, a celebration drunk on colour and excess with no thought for the headache tomorrow “.
Alan Butler’s cyanotypes and deskscapes continue to test and cross the lines between the digital and whatever we define as the real realm. Butler mines that dichotomy in rich of ways employing manual techniques of early photography and painting.

Solo Show The Figure in the Carpet at Green On Red Gallery, Dublin
Opening 29th November 6-8pm
Exbitions runs until 26th January 2019
Green On Red Gallery is delighted to announce a solo exhibition of new paintings, The Figure in the Carpet, by Damien Flood and the launch of a new hard-back monograph on the artist of the same title. Flood has marked himself out as one of the most distinctive and original artists of his generation since he first exhibited in the gallery in 2010. Flood's paintings defy easy definition and reward repeated and extended viewing as they slowly yield up their half revealed, half concealed figures and narratives. The eye is led along a dotted line or insistent painted edge before it ends up in a sumptuous thick build-up of paint, of pattern or of nothingness, akin to the floating world of figures and forms in a Francis Bacon. The pressure of the descriptive force is equal to the lack of a clear and easy resolution.
In the context of the exhibition the title also alludes to the act of seeing imagined forms and shapes in the everyday world around us. Silhouettes of objects creating a figure, intricate designs in a carpet conjuring up far off lands or faces appearing in hedges in low yellowing street light. The arrangements of disparate fragments within Flood’s paintings seem to form a similar function, allowing for multiple readings of new forms and tangential journeys. He uses a mixture of visual languages and motifs comprising of abstract forms, outlines, vases, hands and torso’s that reoccur throughout the work. Whereas some of these motifs bear a figurative semblance that allows for a certain degree of recognition, still others remain exempt from any obvious traceable traits and thus removed from any context. These primarily abstract pictorial marks appear to be puzzle pieces on a plain, floating in a void, loosely recalling a former composition or memory, a patch of paint, or conveying a fleeting impression of reality. They are left for the viewer to complete their narrative or meaning. This is apparent in the large raw linen painting ‘Cabin View’ (2018)(illustrated). In this work twisting twig-like curls of paint lead the eye through the fragmented picture plane. A harlequin patterned vase ornately floats behind the central panel of colour, alluding to a depth within the canvas. The painting teases the viewer with many different visual orientations, interior and exterior merge into a series of movements. The linear elements map out many visual possibilities, heads, arms, mountains, fluctuate within each one of the disparate lines. Everything is permitted but nothing is true.
Artist's talk and events for the exhibition will be announced in early January 2019.
